The Opportunity:
Leonardo offers a range of Apprenticeships from 2-4 years across a variety of STEM and business routes, offering paid training, coupled with on-the-job learning that enables you to gain practical skills, experience, and knowledge that sets up the best start to your career.
Whether leaving School or College with GCSEs/Standards, A ‘Levels/Highers (or equivalent) or in work and looking for a new career path, you are fully supported as you rotate within the business working on real-time projects alongside highly skilled professionals who are passionate about their work.
As you would expect from a globally renowned Company, we offer competitive starting salaries from £16,800 to £21,525 per annum and fully support your academic learning through to qualifications, so there is no need to get into debt. We support helping you settle into your new location ensuring you are familiar with the team and have a warm welcome from day one. There is a member of our Early Careers team at each site, helping you progress, ensuring your study time is protected, enabling access to digital learning as well as opportunities to get involved with the local community and STEM projects, enhancing many aspects of each programme.
Leonardo values people that look to always develop throughout their career and along with an eager willingness to learn, a successful apprenticeship with us involves a drive to deliver results, sometimes from your own initiative, a patience for problem-solving, as well as a need to comply with safety instructions and clear process compliance at all times. We view commitment to programme and learning objectives very highly.
Leonardo is an international leader in electronic and information technologies for defence systems, aerospace, data, infrastructures, land security and protection, and sustainable ’smart’ solutions. We are a continually expanding company, offering exciting opportunities to talented individuals who want to work at the forefront of technology. We hope that is you and look forward to you joining the team!
What you’ll do as a Business Apprentice:
Leonardo’s two-year Business Apprenticeship scheme provides a variety of experiences through placements in business-related disciplines, working on real projects alongside specialists in the world of business. Placements you may cover include Project Management, Logistics/Material control, Manufacturing & Supply Chain, Project Planning, Commercial and Bid Management. The final position will be in Trade Compliance.
During each placement, you will be working within cutting-edge facilities, learning how the various business areas operate and collaborate together to support projects, discovering how projects are run, managed and delivered, and having opportunities to liaise with customers and suppliers. There may also be opportunities for travel between the company’s UK and international sites.
You will also attend Bedford College to complete your Level 3 Business Administrator Apprenticeship (ST0070). Through your work placements, you will record learning activities and evidence to show your competency in set criteria to build a portfolio for assessment including an individual project.
Year 1:
Through a series of rotational placements across a range of internal departments you will gather real work evidence such as reflective accounts which describe day-to-day tasks you have completed and highlight the key business competencies demonstrated. You will gather this evidence, which demonstrates your development into a well-rounded business person through on-the-job training, gaining the essential practical skills needed to succeed.
Year 2:
Following completion of a number of placements, you will enter your final placement in Trade Compliance. This allows you to build on your skills and knowledge to develop into a valuable member of the Function and will provide you with the final pieces of evidence required to move into the assessment phase and complete your Apprenticeship.
